The Ultimate Fighting Championship on Monday announced a bantamweight addition to the quickly growing fight card for UFC 135 on Sept. 24 in Denver.

Norifumi “Kid” Yamamoto, who was a scratch on this past weekend’s UFC 131 fight card in Vancouver, returns to face Damacio Page when the UFC hits the Mile High City.

Yamamoto (18-4) lost his UFC debut against Demetrious Johnson in February, so he’ll be looking to knock that chip off his shoulder. He faces a tough, aggressive, and likely desperate, fighter on Sept. 24.

Page (15-6) lost his UFC debut as well, to Brian Bowles at UFC on Versus 3 in March. That was his second consecutive loss, so he may be fighting for his spot on a very crowded roster, despite his fan-pleasing style.

“These are two of the most aggressive sluggers in the always-exciting bantamweight division,” said UFC president Dana White in announcing the fight.
